I've done some more research and found the way you can retrieve the price history for an item.
As an example for those who are curious, the price history for this random item "Specialized Killstreak Brass Beast" can be retrieved in this way:
http://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/?country=DE¤cy=3&appid=440&market_hash_name=Specialized%20Killstreak%20Brass%20Beast
If calling from code
url ="http://steamcommunity.com/market/pricehistory/"
and the query string payload is:
{
"country" = "US", # two letter ISO country code
"currency"= 1, # 1 is USD, 3 is EUR, not sure what others are
"appid" = 753, # this is the application id. 753 is for steam cards
"market_hash_name" ="322330-Shadows and Hexes" # this is the name of the item in the steam market.
}
country code is the ISO Country Code.
you can find the app id for a game from the URL of its store page. Example: The game "CS:GO" app id is 730. Store page
You can find the market hash name from the URL of its market page. Example: This CS:GO item hash name is "Glove Case Key".
Price history for the Glove Case Key is here.
